The day after the season one finale of Naked and Afraid premiered on August 3rd, I went to brunch with my in-laws at a deli in Bethesda, the kind of place that serves toppling smoked meat sandwiches and omelets the size of handbags. Naked and Afraid — a show in which one man and one woman are stranded nude in hostile wilderness without food or water for 21 days — was my guilty pleasure of the summer, and I wanted desperately to talk with someone who understood how wonderful and ridiculous and shameful it was to be hooked on such over-the-top reality fare.

In the interview, Furneaux discussed her time in the Louisiana swamp with partner Billy Berger, as well as her stunt work and future projects. Furneaux: Naked And Afraid was one of the most intense things I have ever done.

I trusted Discovery and their quality of show and so I signed on despite the extreme nature of the show. I have been very impressed how Discovery kept the true nature of the show and made it something that people of all ages enjoy watching and get inspired by. I believe it is their top rated show at the moment. I loved the idea of beginning from scratch with absolutely nothing and so the challenge caught my attention.
